Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS charges 2017

The current prescription charge is £8.60 per item (£17.20 per pair of elastic hosiery).

A three monthly PPC is £29.10and could save you money if you need more than three prescribed items in three months.

A 12-month certificate is £104.00and could save you money if you need more than 12 prescribed items in a year.

There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website
